The Luxe For Less: It’s SO Fluffy!

It all started with those seemingly childish fluffy pom-poms hanging off our handbags. ‘What on earth is that?‘, asked the other half worrying that my sartorial influences now came from toddlers. ‘Erm… if Fendi can do them, so can I, BABE!’ #MenDontUnderstandFashion

Fast forward a few months and fashions love with everything fluffy and feathery has entered a new level. From my fave fluffy pom-pom earrings that I cannot take off, to the faux fur coats you guys are snuggling up in over in the Northern Hemisphere. Fashion has gone fluffy; and we love it! **Puts on Despicable Me Voice** ‘It’s SO FLUFFY I COULD DIE!’

My long term homies will know my serious love for all types of creatures and it’s for this reason that I DO not support real fur! Guys; the fake stuff looks just as good, as some poor Minx didn’t have to give up it’s life for you! As for feathers, I’m featuring products that only use meat bi-product materials. Ok; enough of this ethical mumbo jumbo…

Here’s how to inject a bit of fluff into your look without breaking the bank, or the environment…

Winter is the perfect excuse to get fluffy! If you want to go all out cookie-monster chic, go for a full blown faux-fur coat, such as this lovely Missguided number.

If you’re starting out on the fluffy scale, add a couple of accessories to embrace this fun trend. These Jack Wills tan gloves will save your poor pinkies from frostbite and will look good with anything.

Feather embellishments are perfect for that dressy evening do too! Stand out and be fashion forward in this Topshop off-the-shoulder feather dress and nail two trends in one! Alternatively, this Nicole Miller feather skirt will look stunning paired with a high neck metallic top. You can even pair it with a chunky, oversized knit to rock this trend in the daytime!

Fluffy doesn’t necessarily have to equate to sweaty. Ok… I’m not advising you to wear a full blown faux-fur coat, that is sweaty, but little bits of fluffy and feathery embellishments here and there will add a third textured dimension to your look.

For a big fat tick to the Aussie Summer’s boho trend, opt for this Topshop feather gilet. If you’re looking to up the glam factor, opt for these matching heels too! **I am totally drooling over these**

I actually think we are hard-wired to like fluffy soft things… reminds us of puppies and baby chicks or something! In any case, I love the the feathery skirt you highlight here and those moccasins look amazingly comfy!

Hands down best post of the day!! I love these little fringey faux fear creatures everywhere. I even have one of them on my backpack for school attached to my key-chain 😉 Fendi is so fantastic for re-creating this idea, and you are for reminding us of it. Really feel for your stance against real fur. It's just not necessary anymore. Perhaps, once it was but now it is no longer. We can survive winter without skinning gorgeous animals.

I totally agree with you. Faux fur looks as good as real one so no need to kill innocent animals! You picked up great items and I really need to get myself a coat. Winter is coming so I should keep myself warm 🙂 x

I really love this fluffy pieces – I even created shoes with pom-poms 🙂 Thanks for sharing the wonderful inspiration – especially perfect for the Christmas time.xx from Bavaria/Germany, Renahttp://www.dressedwithsoul.com

Rachel this is such a fabulous style post – I'm in love with anything even remotely fluffy/soft with regard to clothing and there's a ton of inspiration packed into this post! I love the feather-hemmed jumper, as well as the fluffy mittens – how cute are those?! 🙂

I love all of the fluffy and furry things out in the stores today. It's been kind of warm by me lately or raining so I haven't had too much wear out of my fluffy garments but I can't wait to wear them more.
